( My wife is Canadian and wouldnt allow them in the home anyway). Obviously the Bill of Rights gives every American the right to bear arms and that's an argument many Americans will look to to justify their owning of weapons.
All that being said , I do think the violence needs to me stemmed but why should my personal rights be taken from me if I have acted responsibly and haven't done anything wrong?
P.S. Why is everyone mentioning automatic weapons/assault rifles? The Connecticut shooter only used handguns in his rampage. He has an assault rifle in the trunk but it wasnt used.

If I was to start to try and fix the 15,000 deaths a year the US has I would limit allowable guns to bolt or lever action rifles and shotguns, preferably double barrel, not that the US will do this mind you, but if they did it would all but solve their problems while still allowing the fullfillment of 2nd amendment rights and allowing foir all the roles a gun is good for.
